Some call it a fashion statement; others call it gross. Some communities are trying to ban the practice outright. Others feel that government shouldn't be in the business of telling people what and how to wear their clothes. Like it or not, saggin' is controversial.

Saggin' is the slang used to describe wearing pants way below the belt. In most cases they hover just north of the knees but far south enough to see the undershorts. The trend has its followers in the hip-hop culture, even though the trend started years ago in prisons.

What's your take on it? Would you let your kid walk the streets showing his drawers, or is it just a passing fad for you and yours? Here's your chance to weigh in. Let us know what you think.
